Billed as a historic boutique hotel. Nothing boutique about it. Just an old outdated hotel. Decent location and staff were very nice. My wife would never ever stay again.

We’ve stayed here 7 or 8 times and it’s always clean and quiet. No pool or fitness room but with the Riverwalk nearby, you can get miles of walking in and that’s a big part of why we go to San Antonio. Love the balcony area and can’t wait to come back.

great price and great hotel

The young lady who checked us in was amazing! So incredibly friendly and helpful. The hotel has a wonderful vibe ... definitely aligned with the San Antonio feel. The hotel is located at the edge of downtown providing quick and easy access to the river walk AND easy in/out access for arrival and leaving. be aware that the hotel doesn't have a bar or restaurant ... but there are one or two of those nearby!
